Timeline

1925

Another player in the quartet was Cynthia Midgley (born Freeman, 1925–2021) who played the viola.

After leaving the RCM her friend Joan Dickson organised for the cellist Enrico Mainardi to give lessons in London in which Shuttleworth took part.

She also continued her studies with Franz Walter in Geneva.

Shortly after leaving college, Shuttleworth was invited to play at the Newbury Festival with the Newbury String Players, both in the orchestra and later as a soloist.

This initiated a long friendship with the family of Gerald Finzi and their musical circle, including Ursula and Ralph Vaughan Williams.

This period also witnessed a richly varied freelance career, playing in a number of festival orchestras, as a chamber musician and soloist.

She was once affectionately referred to as "The Swellest Cellist" by Vaughan Williams.

1927

Anna Shuttleworth (2 May 1927 – 2 March 2021 ) was a British cellist.

She studied cello with Ivor James and Harvey Phillips at the Royal College of Music and later became a professor at the same college.

Her pupils include Alexander Baillie, Martin Johnson, Natalie Clein, František Brikcius, and Kathy Hampson (née Jewell).

On 2 May 1927, Shuttleworth was born in Bournemouth.

Shuttleworth's father was a retired Indian Civil Service officer and her mother was of Polish-Irish heritage.

1940

After leaving the RCM in the late 1940s Shuttleworth was a member of numerous chamber music ensembles including a string trio with Elisabeth Watson (viola), Georgian String Quartet, Leonardo Trio (first with David Roth, later with Maureen Smith, violin and with Ian Brown, piano), London Harpsichord Ensemble, Glickman Trio and Aulos Ensemble.

1943

In 1943, Shuttleworth went to study the cello at the Royal College of Music (RCM) as a scholar.

There she learned with Ivor James and Harvey Phillips.

While at the RCM, Shuttleworth became a founding member of the Vivien Hind String Quartet, an ensemble that she played with for a number of years.

1953

In 1953, at the recommendation of the composer Herbert Howells, Shuttleworth applied for the Boise scholarship and in 1954 was awarded a substantial sum to further her cello studies.

This she used to study with Mainardi in Salzburg and Rome, and with Pablo Casals in Zermatt and Prades.

Shuttleworth was married twice.

1957

Her first marriage was to Noel Taylor, a fellow cellist, in 1957.

1960

In the 1960s, Shuttleworth became a member of several ensembles and performed for many BBC broadcasts.

After the 1960s, Shuttleworth performed many successful piano and cello recitals with some of the leading pianists in Britain, including Bernard Roberts, Ian Brown, Martin Roscoe and John Thwaites.

1964

In 1964, Novello published 'Learning the cello', which Shuttleworth wrote jointly with Hugo Cole.

She had a lesson with Rostropovich who complimented her on her beautiful cello sound and musicianship.

When in London, she knew Sylvia Cleaver, who in 1964 asked Shuttleworth to become the principal cellist of the Midland Sinfonia Orchestra (later renamed the English Sinfonia).

1967

This was also the year when she was invited to teach the cello at the Junior Department at the RCM, followed by the appointment to the Senior Department in 1967.

1968

In 1968 she was approved as an Associated Board examiner and also bought her very first Renault 4, the car that was to become her habitual transport, travelling around the country.

1970

The 1970s was Shuttleworth's golden period and through the connection with Hilary Finzi, Jacqueline du Pré's sister, she was allowed to play on du Pré's Davidov Stradivarius for two years.

1971

She became a cello professor at the RCM and taught many of today's well-known musicians, including Adrian Brendel, Alexander Baillie, Clare Finzi, Elizabeth Wilson and Jonathan Del Mar. However, as Shuttleworth felt as though she had neglected her academic career, and partly to better understand David's work at the Leeds University, she took an Open University course 1971-75 and was awarded a BA (Hons) degree in 1975.

1972

In 1972 Shuttleworth put Stuart Lowe (a keen amateur cellist) in contact with Sue Jennings (one of Shuttleworth's cello students at the RCM) and later Stuart and Sue married.

Later Shuttleworth taught Matthew, Daniel and Tim Lowe at Sue's request.

She and Sue developed a longstanding teaching relationship together, and with the Lowe family members and Alexander Baillie, they created "Gathering of the Clans", a long running cello course with teachers such as Baillie and Johannes Goritzki as well as Alexander teachers/cellists Vivien Mackie and Rhuna Martin.

Other cellists included Joan Dickson, Amanda Truelove, Sasha Boyarsky, Lowri Blake, Andreas Burzik, Melissa Phelps, Louise Hopkins, and Moray Welsh.

1973

Her second marriage was to David Sellen, a biophysics researcher, in 1973.

They remained married until her death on 2 March 2021 in Leeds.

1996

She held this post until she retired from the orchestra in 1996.

Apart from this, Shuttleworth worked with many orchestras over the years such as the Alexandra Orchestra (founded by Denys Darlow) which later became the Tilford Bach Orchestra, Chelsea Opera Group, Kalmar Orchestra, Sadler's Wells Opera Orchestra (now English National Opera) and Orchestra d'Amici.

Shuttleworth travelled widely and spent many holidays around the world with a particular fondness for Scandinavia.

In the early seventies, at Jacqueline du Pré's suggestion, the Swedish cellist Frans Helmerson stayed at Shuttleworth's house and they became friends.

Then while teaching at the Great Missenden Summer course in Berkshire, Shuttleworth met the Swedish musical Frankmar family who brought her over to Sweden for various summer courses.
